ILS in fog, instrument landing.

[Kaktus]

Ok, so i tried following waypoints and HSI is great, all ok, but as far as i recall the key "1" on keyboard changes the modes of navigation, from waypoint, to return mode etc.. as far as i remember there should be landing mode, which is the one that enables ILS, and i get nothing, i can get to the airfield but i cant get the ils glidepath help active*

Russian birds can't talk to ILS. They use RSBN/PRMG instead and these are available only for 4 airfields.

[Kaktus]

which 4 airfields.. i mean i'm landing on russian airfields.. lol.. it used to have this option but now what.. you can land only in moscow i guess

 

[Ironhand]

The frequencies for the PRMG runways on the Caucasus map are marked in blue rather than white. There are six, IIRC. Both directions at Mozdok, and one each at Maykop, Krympsk, and Krasnodar-Central.

Draconus’ chart also designates them using blue.

i dont get it, this is very high tech, only 4 airfields can be equiped to accept military planes that are russian and airfields are military.. is this one of the dcs stupid ideas or real life.. so basically if fog comes all planes have to divert to moscow i guess..

If you prefer to continue in this tone then I suggest they divert to some NATO country.

High tech it was - in 70s. And not all airfields IRL are military and only some are equipped with this landing systems in Russia.

You’re going to do what all FC3 aircraft do. Follow the ADI needles down to the runway.

what i was refering is that there is no way that today RF military airfields are not equiped with this, GPS guided bombs, cruise missiles, drones, ok, but ILS.. get out of here.. too advanced, next! .. 

 

i don't feel this is.. realistic ..is that it*?

 

[Ironhand]

While, in the sim, every field is a military base, in real life most are either international airports or don’t exist at all. Anapa, for instance, is international. Krymsk is military.

The simulated aircraft is cold war 70-80s tech and Caucasus is depicted as 1990-2000.

You should ask the russians why they didn't place an expensive to maintain System at each and every airbase.

so, we can pretend USAF landing in Tbilisi or Russian Maykop or Sochi airfield has ILS, but vice versa impossible.. 

 

on other note, this 1970 tech froggie has ILS ability to land so what now.. 

 

this seems unnecessary from DCS part, .. so in this case we can't even mod the airfields to have ils support.. or its only for Russian planes we can't do that? 

 

it all comes together when we see RED force unrepresented...oh wait, i will hear Russian government is preventing airfields in DCS to have ILS)))))

You can pretend that only because those airports are equipped with those systems mainly for civilian commercial aviation. But if you want RSBN on all airports so dearly, just get a mod that adds the beacons to all airports on the map...

You can mod them to have any kind of beacon at any airfield. It's been done before and available to download.

It makes sense for the russians to prevent military airfields to be equipped with ILS if they rely on RSBN instead...
